Django Settings in Dev and Production: Why the hoops?

Posted on August 17, 2009 by bkjones

So, I’ve taken a break from active development on my project to take a step back and really get a good development workflow together. I’ve been fighting with various components of my development workflow, and in the end decided to compromise: I won’t have something that looks exactly like production, but I’ll have something that…

Django App Design: Extend or Build From Scratch?

Posted on August 12, 2009 by bkjones

Django has proven itself (to me, anyway) as a great tool for the job of creating very robust web applications with lightning speed. In just a week or two, I’ve created a site that encompasses a blog with an akismet-powered comment moderation system, a code sharing section complete with highlighted code segments (and line numbers),…

Create a Tagging Index Page with django-tagging

Posted on August 11, 2009 by bkjones

For those not following along, I’ve been recreating LinuxLaboratory.org using Django. It’s my first Django project that you could call “real work”. I’ve been using the Django documentation, various blogs, and the 2nd edition of “Practical Django Projects”, which has given me a lot of ideas, and a lot of actual code. Some of it…

How To Get Firefox to Recognize Your Site’s RSS Feed

Posted on August 11, 2009 by bkjones

I just implemented an RSS feed in one of my sites the other day, and realized that visiting my site in Firefox did *not* result in the little blue feed icon showing up in the address bar area. Turns out it’s not so automagic. You need to do stuff to make it happen. To get…

My Django Project Update: RSS Feed, “Home” Link, and more.

Posted on August 10, 2009 by bkjones

In continuing the rebuild of LinuxLaboratory.org using Django, I’m happy to say that things have moved fairly smoothly. I’m using a good mix at this point of stuff from the 2nd edition of “Practical Django Projects”, the Django documentation, blog posts, and docs from other apps I’m making use of. RSS I said in one…

Django, Pygments, Templates, Code Sharing, and Design

Posted on August 9, 2009 by bkjones

Welcome to the latest update! I spent a total of about an hour on the “Social Code Sharing” application in the 2nd edition of “Practical Django Projects”, and I’m not completely finished with it, but I’ve got syntax highlighting and the basics covered. I can add, edit, and delete snippets, list snippets, and show a…

Django RSS Feed Finally Working

Posted on August 6, 2009 by bkjones

Ok, so now LinuxLaboratory has the following features working: comments (along with comment moderation and akismet support), a WYSIWYG editor for my posts markdown support for comments email notification of errors and new comments a full-blown administration interface that lets me deal with any apps, users, or content on my site, some cheesy CSS (hey,…

LinuxLaboratory => Django – Now with Comments, Akismet, and 404.html

Posted on August 6, 2009 by bkjones

I stayed up a little late last night, because I wanted to get comments working on Linuxlaboratory.org. Comments *are* working, and I *do* get email notification of new comments, which is nice. Akismet is installed, and is no longer throwing errors, but to be honest, I’m not quite sure how to test it. I tried…

Hi all, If you’ve not been following along, I’ve picked up the 2nd edition of Practical Django Projects, and am using it to help me reinvent LinuxLaboratory.org (LLO). Though LLO is really a documentation site where I republish articles I’ve written for Linux.com, O’Reilly, and others over the past 10 years, I started out by…

LinuxLaboratory.org Django Update

Posted on July 31, 2009 by bkjones

Hi all, So, I’ve begun down the road of reinventing LinuxLaboratory.org using Django. For the moment, I’m mostly starting out using the blog application from the newly released second edition of “Practical Django Projects”, and there’s no CSS or fancy design going on yet, but I have a nice admin interface for creating posts, managing…
